Dear All,
We were in PP between 31st May and 6th June and we stayed at the
Flora Aparthotel.
My daughter, who is 5 years old, had a bit of a cough before we left the UK, but it was nothing that was getting her down. On the evening of our third day she started to feel unwell and complained of difficulty breathing, we took her temperature and it was sky high.
At about 10.30pm I went to the Flora reception and asked for a doctor. The lady behind the desk was lovely and she called the doctor and said he would be with us in 20 minutes, he was there in 10.
I was panicking (my hubby is always the calm one) and the doctor was lovely. He spoke really good english and reassured us from the start that she would be OK. After examining her in our
apartment he diagnosed bronchitus. He gave us a prescription for some penicillin we he said she needed to start taking immediately.
It was now around 11pm and the receptionist informed me that we would need to find a 24 hour pharmacist. She made a number of calls and found out that the pharmacist on call was in Pollensa old town.
I was just about to call a taxi when Felix, a chap who works behind the bar in the Flora, offered to drive me and my friend into Pollensa to get the prescription.
The pharmacist was tucked away in the centre of the town and had my friend and I been on or own it would have taken us ages to find it.
We got the medicine and my daughter started to pick up immediately. After staying out of the pool for a day on the doctors instructions (which she was not happy with!!), she was fine and it did not spoil our holiday.
I just wanted to share this story with everyone as an example of how friendly and helpful the local people of PP are, they made a very worrying time much easier for us.
My daughter loved it from then on as all the staff at the Flora new she had been poorly so she got free ice creams from then on. She milked it for all it was worth!!!!!!
